Great article. “Good leadership is a team sport, and that applies not just to the leadership team within an organisation, but also to leadership across a system” Yes. And there are no prizes for the cleanest shorts.

A great read from @buckinghamh - I couldn’t agree more about the intrinsic relationship betwen good governance, good leadership & good partnership working. ➡️

I like this straightforward but powerful evocation of the sweet spot for organisations from @buckinghamh If it was easy you wouldn't need me...

Love the sound of this and look forward to reading the strategy properly. And isn’t it nice to see someone enjoying their job so much on a Monday morning? 😀

🧵 Today we are proud and excited to launch our five-year strategy! 🎉 👉 https://t.co/lmjKyY6k6W Our Chief Executive, @jacoblant has filmed a short video to introduce it, which details our three, interconnected strategic priorities📽️

It would have been nice to have had a reply @AvantiWestCoast. Clearly the answer is yes, as we will be almost an hour late into Euston.

Earlier this year @jessRmorley blew people away at our @nuffieldtrust policy summit with her brilliant talk on AI and the NHS. Here she condenses her thoughts into a great guest blog for us - a must-read. Thanks Jess!

The third episode of our ‘Do What You Can’ Insight Series is now live! Tune in to Claire Kennedy and Edel Harris OBE discussing the challenges charities face when trying to make positive change and the need for reform in the health and social care sector.

Fantastic thread here! Also an excellent example of the problem of 'accretion' in policy. New policy often tries to 'fix' problems created by old policy, not the underlying problem.

this is v thoughtful thread. we need a contemporary history department of NHS policymaking to keep reminding us what went wrong before and what we vowed to do to stop it happening again

I have never forgotten & will never forget leading an internal investigation into a homicide conducted by a patient at the MH Trust where I was a director. Decommissioning the Assertive Outreach team (badly) was a key factor. This thread sets out such important learning.

How change happens, working with politicians, the hope that grows when you focus on the assets in a community... @ClaireKPPL and I covered an awful lot in a short space of time! Have a listen, tell us what you think?

Post-CofE service refreshments - tea & a custard cream. @fhussain73 takes it up a notch after mosque! Seriously though, it's so easy to demystify stuff, and we do indeed have far more in common than that which divides us. Thanks Farzana.

Oh you have to watch this to the end. And don't blink when you get there.

Ex-oncology kid travels abroad for first time on his own. Thank you #NHS

What makes you do something differently? And keep doing it, even when it's tough? A business case is necessary, but rarely enough. There's so much power to be unleashed when the head & the heart are in the same place, but it's hard to talk about feelings at work. Worth it though.

The shared endeavour of health and care is beautifully summed up in this Rosamund Snow quote ‘I realised that patients can see things in research that clinicians can’t because we think to look in new places, and we spot discrepancies that doctors take for granted.’

It feels v important that we hold to account not only the thugs smashing windows on our high streets, but also the mainstream media, politicians and commentators whose relentless and unfeeling hostile noise on immigration created the conditions in which fascists feel emboldened.
